The wifi adapter you are using is the main one from your computer or are you using a second one with usb passthrough?

In Kali Linux, USB wifi adapter has to be installed, after that you have to select the NAT option in the settings. You have to click on Next in USB

You can't use your wifi in your VM because you are not using hardware passthrough (usb or pci).
Your best option is to use a secondary usb wifi adapter and configure usb passthrough for that device (in the vm settings). Then Kali will be able to use that usb.
You can use the wifi adapter from your laptop, but then you need to configure PCI passthrough

@alfakali configuring NAT is not what @PoorTrader is asking for. That only enables an ethernet conection inside the VM, and he wants to be able to use the wifi adapter

I'm closing this as it's hardware support, not a bug
